You know it and we know it. Puppies are cute. Everything about those tiny stinkers is so adorable its hard to decide what the cutest thing about a puppy might be! Could it be their tiny toes? Or maybe those little tails? It might be their button noses or the way they give us kisses. Oh, who can decide!

Everything about baby dogs is perfection, including their puppy bellies!

Since we can all agree that puppy tummies are just too cute, let’s get silly and look at a whole bunch of puppy belly pictures!

Puppy Bellies! 

All the puppies you’ll see here are part of foster homes or dog rescue groups. Check out their pages for adoption info or to find out how to get involved. If you’re not available for fostering dogs, volunteers are always needed at animal rescue shelters. And, you can shop iHeartDogs.com to help fund food, toys, and blankets for dogs in need.

Fig and Fern have the happiest baby bellies ever thanks to their foster mom and dog!
